OKW questions?

[dzorn]

Hopefully I am changing the second half of our Feb trip to OKW.

My understanding is building 30 and above have the second entrance to the Master Bathroom correct?

I think I would prefer a water view so which area would you suggest?

It will be 4 possibly 6 adults and two children 7&9. Are all the activities situated to HH or are they spread out?

Which numbers are considered HH?

Is there a difference in Lock off and dedicated two bedroom: balconys, beds vs sofa beds etc.?

Yes, that's correct. All 1 and 2BR villas in buildings 30 and above will have a second access to the master bathroom thru the laundry room.

I think I would prefer a water view so which area would you suggest?

That will depend on your expectation for a "water" view. A few buildings have views along Trumbo Canal (45,46,55,56) and most have a view of a golf course pond or water hazard. You can get an idea about the water views from a map of OKW. There are really only a few buildings without a water view.

It will be 4 possibly 6 adults and two children 7&9. Are all the activities situated to HH or are they spread out?

Yes, the recreation activities are situated around HH - except that there are neighborhood pools at Millers Road, South Point and Old Turtle Pond (which also has a snack bar at the pool and tennis courts nearby).

Which numbers are considered HH?

Officially, the "near HH" booking category consists of Buildings 11-14 and 23 -26. IMO, there are a number of other buildings that I consider "near". 15-18, 62-64 and 27-29 would all fit my definition of "near" HH - but not all would agree.

At OKW the dedicated 2BR villas do not have a balcony for the 2nd BR, there is no kitchenette in the 2nd BR (there is additional closet space in it's place) and all 2nd BRs do have 2 queen beds. There is a sleep sofa in the living room only. The lock-off 2BRs all have a second balcony, a mini-kitchen and they also have 2 queen beds in the 2nd BR and the sleep sofa in the living room.

The ONLY differences in the two types are the 2nd balcony, the kitchenette and the 2nd exterior entrance to the Studio portion of the 2BR.

Thanks. I'm stressing about this vacation more than most because I invited family members. One set first week, weekend to ourselves and then another one the second. DBil is not use to little ones around 24/7 so the bigger space the better.

Our favorite water view at OKW is from buildings 45 and 46, but they are a bit of a walk to any of the pools and play areas.

Does OKW have a boat to Downtown Disney? I thought it did, but I don't see that referenced on the map. Anyone know?? Thanks

Yes, it loads at the dock behind Olivia's.
